Here's another piece of knoledge for all you blog fans. Yokohama Tires or The Yokohama Rubber Company, Limited is a tire manufacturing company based in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. The company was established around October of 1917 from a joint investment from Yokohama Cable Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (which is currenty Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd.) and BF Goodrich from the United States.
It was around 1937 when the company used "Yokohama" on their tires & industrial products. And not until 1963 when they changed their name to it's now current corporate name Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd.
The company came to the United States around 1969 as the Yokohama Tire Corporation. As of now the company has several plants located in countries such as Australia, Thailand & the Philippines producing products such as winshield sealants and hydraulic hoses. There ya'll go, some knowledge for your @$$. Learn something.
